A Day In a Japanese Fishing Village

   The store manager was not surprised to see this situation, because he knew that this situation would happen when the company set this price. The emergence of mobile phones is definitely not the public line at the beginning, it is definitely the luxury line first.

  Because the current cost of mobile phones is very high, it will definitely not work if you sell them cheap!

   If you want to make mobile phones popular among the public, it is estimated that it will not be possible within a few years.

   "Everyone, there is no way to do this. Mobile phones are high-tech products, so they are generally more expensive." The store manager can only explain this.

   "Who buys it so expensive?"

   "That's right, I might as well buy a car!"

   "Let's go, I can't use this phone."

   Most of the people left at once.

   But there were three or four people who wanted to buy mobile phones on the spot.

   Minano Shuichi sat in the back and looked at this, he felt that it didn't matter. Anyway, this is a luxury line, and those people can't afford it if they don't go.

  Just like that, one week of Big Brother mobile phone went on sale quietly.

   The specialty store in Tokyo has a total of 150 units in stock. It was sold out in the past week! Basically, they are the kind of people who do business, or big stars and people with status to buy.

   In the early morning of this day, the door of the specialty store just opened, and several people rushed in.

   "Manager, is your big brother new arrival? I've been waiting for three days." A young man in a suit asked eagerly. Of course he didn't buy the phone, he bought it for his company boss. He's the one to run errands. Where does the boss of his company have time to buy a mobile phone?

   "I'm sorry, sir, the new products will probably have to wait for a while. It is estimated that there will be goods in a few days." The store manager said helplessly. It's hard work for these people to come up with a hunger sale.

   "Nani, no stock yet?"

   "Sorry~"

   Those few people were immediately downcast when they heard this. When they go back, it is estimated that they will be scolded by the boss again.

   "It seems that I can only buy it in the black market, but the price of a mobile phone in the black market has risen to 300,000 yen a piece..."

  …

   Minami Shuuichi was not surprised that the mobile phone sold out of stock. Because he knew that when the Big Brother mobile phone came out in the previous life, it was similar to the current situation.

   The three words "Big Brother" carry a clear message. In those days, it was a symbol of status, status and wealth. For the islanders who thought "upstairs and downstairs, electric lights and telephones" not long ago, the shock it brings is inevitable. Not only because it's expensive, but also because of the high-tech magic it exhibits.

  Although such a big brother and heavyweight mobile phone is thick and bulky, it is shaped like a black brick and weighs more than a pound. It has no other functions except making calls, and the quality of the calls is not clear and stable enough, and you often have to shout. One of its large batteries can only last for 30 minutes on a charge. Even so, Big Brother is still very tight, and it is hard to find money.

  Minami Shuuichi vaguely remembers that when Big Brother’s mobile phone was introduced to Hong Kong in 1987, Big Brother’s public price was around 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, but it usually cost 25,000 yuan to buy it, and the black market price was as high as 50,000 yuan. This is not only prohibitive for ordinary people, that is, not many small and medium-sized enterprises can afford it. That was the Hong Kong dollar in 1987. At that time, the million-dollar households were the rich. Buying a mobile phone costing 20,000 to 30,000 yuan is really not something that ordinary people can afford.

   So now Big Brother is listed in the island country, this is also the case!

  Those rich people, business people, and people with status all want to own a mobile phone!

   Saito Kojiro is the boss of a company. He bought one on the first day of the big brother's mobile phone. Although he felt that the phone was expensive, the cost of calls was also high. But he felt it was worth the money. Just yesterday, the mobile phone solved his urgent need for trade negotiations and helped him become the first beneficiary of the market economy.

   In fact, what Minamino Shuichi's communication company did not expect was that the big brother's mobile phone soon won the favor of some wealthy people at that time. Due to the huge size of Big Brother, most of the people who use it are big brothers in the business world. In those days, people had no concept of private cars, and they seldom felt envious. At that time, you drove a BMW car out, and others thought it was a public car, which was far less dazzling than the big brother. Soon people were proud of having a big brother, and began to show off and compare consumption.

   Just like Saito Kojiro, he was originally an extroverted person. Since he had the big brother, he will hold the big brother all day long. When you negotiate with meals, drink tea, and put it on the table, it is like betting on a rich chip and a scepter. You will immediately gain more respect, and business negotiations will become easier. A person with a restrained personality will put the eldest brother in the well-polished boss bag, and the boss bag is under his arm. Take it out at the right time, pull out the long antenna, spend 100 yen per minute on the phone, and shout in the crowd: "Hey! Hey! I can't hear you, you can say it again." look.

   Anyway, just one month has passed, Big Brother has quickly become popular in big cities, and even little kids know that people who use Big Brother are rich! Because only rich people can afford Big Brother mobile phones.

  The headquarters of Nanye Telecommunications Corporation.

   Minamino Shuichi holds a monthly high-level meeting as usual.

   "This month has passed, how are the sales of Big Brother's mobile phone currently?" Minano Shuichi asked in a deep voice, sitting in the first place.

   "Report, Mr. Chairman, we have sold a total of 1,021 Big Brother mobile phones in the four major cities in one month!" A sales manager reported with a smile.

   With so many mobile phones, one sells for 200,000 yen, which is a total of 200 million yen, plus the Internet access fee, another 80 million yen!

   Plus some customer phone bills have not been included!

   "Winning profits, definitely huge profits!"

   "We didn't expect Big Brother's mobile phone to be so popular! I believe many rich people have bought it now."

   "It's still in the early days, don't get excited. Don't forget that the relay station signal station and telephone network we built cost 5 billion yuan." Minami Shuichi tapped the table lightly.

   "Yes yes yes..." A group of high-level executives repeatedly said yes, but they all knew in their hearts that it would not take long for the cost to be recovered.

   This is the charm of technology products!

   Making money is really scary!

"Okay, the hunger sales will continue! After three months of implementation, the sale will be released! I believe that our big brother will definitely reduce the price after a year. After all, no one will buy our mobile phones when the rich sell them. Now, I can only choose to reduce the price." Nanye Xiu said.

"Yes!"
